Rex Murphy: Names Matter

"Names matter — what people are called, and what they themselves wish to be called, matters greatly. So if Jenner says “call me Caitlyn,” Hillary will not oppose the right-thinking baptism."

"However, on another naming subject — one possibly of more import and global consequence than Jenner’s choice of restroom — that of ISIL and radical Islam, Clinton appears to hold an opposite view. ISIL just completed a killing and wounding rampage in Paris. It went about its murderous fling with the usual chants of radical Islam, hurling “Allah Akbar” at its victims — some, dear Lord, in wheelchairs."
